I thought I would start one of those [INSERT NAME HERE] models threads, since I'm trying to learn, and I'll post my models here as I do so you might have them as well.

The first is a remake of my "Beach Umbrella" that I posted in Deathhead's thread to go with his beach chairs. I made it in about 20 minutes, and after taking my time to redo it, the difference really shows. (to me anyway)

Picture is attached and download in next post.

Best.

Oh yeah.... babe not included.

The text is typed directly on the map in PhotoShop, and then reversed to make it appear correctly. I used about a 30% gradient overlay to give it a little color variation. Learning how to set up the UV map (and I'm still learning) is a big step.

Agreed. Thanks for the input.

Thanks Tanya.

This one is a wooden foot bridge that spans 3 segments. I wanted to do more with the ropes, but it just got to be too many poly's and doing them texture alone was too flat and unrealistic. So I settled down the middle for some textured cylinders. It's not great, but Ithink it's passable. (Especially in the dark)

Although the bridge sags in the middle (it looked like enough in ms3d) it could use more sag to look right in the game.

Picture is attached and download in next post.

@LT Tatters,

Thank you, I'm glad you can use it.

@Cheese Cake,

Thanks so much for offer and crit, but I have to learn this some time. I need all the practice I can get. LOL

I'm working on a couple of old style lighted signs that hang from a building. I hope to have something to show tomorrow.

That pic oozes ALL KINDS of ambience! It looks so lonely and creepy.

Where did you get that building?

That sign looks great, but could use some dirt to ground it in reality more. What program are you using to texture? Grab a digital camera, take some pictures of some dirty concrete, and overlay it on top of your texture - fiddling with the opacity and contrast.

Thanks bond1,

The building is made of MP3 segments.

I'm using an old version of PhotoShop. (V7 I think) Your right... I did an overlay on the red metal for a slight texture, but it was clean. Thanks for the tip.

Understatement on the big step, not on the learning part.
I hope I can start texturing that good soon, because I am learning a little about those UV Maps too finally.
I have found that FragMOTIONs UV Mapper works well once you figure out the qwerks.

Good job xplosys.

Cheese Cake and Inspire. Thanks for the comments.

You'll notice that these models are all different. I'm just looking at pictures for inspiration or doing what comes to mind. When and if I get to where I'm satisfied with them, I'll make a pack on a theme that interests me.

This is a cruddy little turnstile for any bus or train station - etc. Image attached and download in next.

That is a very nice model!
And a great idea!

This is good for giving barriers in levels (levels that play in a train station of course )
But also giving that extra detail.

Great work man!

The new models look great!

Here is something I do to make my textures more realistic: Make a new layer in photoshop. Set a brush with a size of 1 pixel and a hardness of 100%, and grab the color white. Draw in scratches in logical places, or even just scribble like crazy. Then give it a gaussian blur of about 0.3, set the blending options for that layer to overlay or hard light, and then drop the opacity down to about 30%.

Thank you everyone for your comments.

Luke314pi,

Thanks for the tip. I used a dirty concrete texture to overlay the last one. That sound interesting. I'll give it a try. It seems I did something like that before on a glass texture.

I have to say these are some fine models.For someone who is "learning" these are good.UV mapping is a pain and,like you guys,I am finding out that I am being forced to learn more about it as well.
Trying to draw a texture for something round on a flat surface is a pain in the...mouse.
Nice stuff and thanks again for everything.
I gotta tell you I had an "issue" with my PC and lost everything...and I mean everything.
I have been able to find some of the stuff I need from your site.

RIP Floating Skull unknown-2007 we will miss you in FPSC x10

Great; now there's someone else that's passing me by in game media design! I think I may need to streamline my online responsabilities again....or just plain stay off the net more. Perhaps going online once per day is the way to go. Otherwise, I'll never have time to improve my skills.......

@Keith and puppy, thanks for your comments.

@FredP, Thanks, I sent you an e-mail.

@All, no doubt you've noticed the hard edges on the models. I'm using ms3d, and while smoothing seems to work well in the editor, it seems to get lost when exported from ms3d.

What little I could find on assigning smoothing groups in ms3d is difficult to follow, and seems to be a way to remove auto-smoothing rather than applying it.

Anyone with ms3d experience who can shed some light on smoothing and getting the results into the final product, your help would be most appreciated.

Besides ms3d, I use LithUnwrap 1.3 and PhotoShop7/Paint.net.

Best.

Thanks, I found the problem. You have to apply it and be in the smoothing view when you export the model. That seems to work anyway. Now I can go back to practicing my UV layouts and adjustments. Applying smoothing groups to parts of the model will turn off smoothing to those parts when auto smooth is applied. That seems backwards, but hey.... I didn't make the program.

Well, while that did make a difference, there is still a problem, and I wonder now if it is shader related, however setting them on or off seems to make no difference.

Attached is a sample that when well lighted looks fine, but when the lighting is lowered, gets sharp edges again. If anyone has any input (at all) please give it to me.

True, when I make them dynamic the are smooth, but is there a fix or adjustment to make them smooth without being overly lit or dynamic?

First of all before I go off topic. I just saw this thread. I have already liked what you have done earlier but these are very good and sooooo usable despite the little things that others have critiqued on and critiquing is good as long as they are constructive so don't get me wrong guys.

FredP, I am really sorry about that crash and burn. When will we (me too) ever learn about making frequent backups. But, just so you know, your experience has made me do a recent backup. I hadn't backed up for quite some time now. Thanks. I know that is no consolation. BTW, I am using a couch and chair that you had made in my first level of the game I'm working on now. They are really funky looking.

Back to the thread. I can see my using most of these models somewhere along in some level of my game. Wow. Thanks again, xplosys.

I thought it was only possible in dynamic to make them smooth.
In static they always have hard edges etc.
If you dont want it to be that bright...than you could edit the texture...
But of course maybe in some scenes it would be to dark.

Hmm well...yeah i dont think its possible to have a better effect in static.
If there is a way than i would like to know aswell.
